Is that from your original or current roll? Do you increase or decrease the size of your bet as your balance changes? I appreciate your post

Adjust the bet size when you get to some benchmark. For example say you start with $2000 and bet 40 a game. Bet 50 when you reach 2500. bet 100 when you reach 5000.

Although most frown on parlays they have money management built in. I've seen $100 gamblers up 2 grand going into Sunday and bet 4 games for 500 apiece, go 0-4, and owe their book 200 for the week. There are many schools of thought on money management. I started betting 1 unit (500) on a single game per day until I'm up 4 units, then I increase to 2 units. If I win I continue betting 2 units until I'm up 8 units and if I lost and went under the 4 unit mark I would decrease back to one unit.

Put your money in a mma account and let the interest place your next bet after it matures in 6 mos

Common way among "Smart" money is 1unit is 1% of bankroll. Most play 1-2 unit plays at that beginning of the season. A benchmark is set of when the will begin betting more unit. I have often seen +50 units as a benchmark. When you increase units dont change your strategy ie. if you are betting 1 and 2 unit plays only go to 2 and 4 unit plays. If you were playing 1 1.5 and 2 unit plays play 2,3, and 4 unit plays. etc. Regardless you must have discipline.

I should of also stated when the week is over I revert right back to a 1 unit play and have done this all season this year.

Prospect Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 10 Location:	#17 Posted: 8/29/2009 6:16:01 PM Let's say you start your bankroll with $10k. At 5%, you decided to make 4 $500 bets. If you lose all four bets, you are down to $8k. With your next bet, do you continue to make $500 bets or do you decrease your bets to 5% of $8k, $400? I know no everyone uses 5%, or bets 1 unit per game. But if and when you go on a losing streak, do you decrease your bets or stay consistent with your amounts?

Captain Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 7221 Location: Texas	#18 Posted: 8/29/2009 6:27:49 PM I stay consistent with 1% of original bankroll and that stays 1 unit for the year. Oly increase units played after +50 units. I am jus intersted in a steady grind it out year as I NEVER play more than 3 units per play until that +50 unit mark is reached.
